Xiao Ling'er smiled, understanding that he was afraid that she would misunderstand him and think he was using despicable means to solve the problem.
"It doesn't matter. The Lan family is not a good family. He wants his two daughters to marry you, not to gain a relationship with the royal family, but to give you a slow poison so that he can control the Gu family army.
Censor Lan's ambition is to sit on the throne, and the people behind him are most likely from Luomeng Country.
Also, the Second Prince of Cangbian originally planned to send troops to attack Yuntian Kingdom in three months, but has now given up the idea."
Although the man gave up the idea, he didn't say that he wanted to pursue her and use her to gain benefits.
"Don't worry, Ling'er, we won't have anything to do with the Lan family." Gu Yunting was very happy. He felt that she seemed a little different today.
She was finally willing to participate in his life.
"And your father, the emperor, will he choose a concubine recently? Does he want to marry a concubine?" Xiao Ling'er asked directly.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Xiao Ling'er asked this question unexpectedly, causing Gu Yunting to choke on his saliva and cough continuously.
Xiao Ling'er reached out and helped Gu Yunting smooth his back.
"Ling'er, father...he will not choose a concubine as a young wife." Gu Yunting guessed that a young wife should mean a concubine.
"Are you so sure? Men all love beautiful women. As long as there is a chance, who wouldn't want a beautiful woman?" Xiao Ling'er retorted in disbelief.
"Ling'er, I can't! Father can't! Big brother can't either!" Gu Yunting excitedly grabbed Xiao Ling'er's hand and promised.
"Our Gu family's ancestral precept states that for the sake of family harmony, men cannot take concubines. Once we decide on someone, it's for life." Gu Yunting was afraid that his beloved would not believe him, so he turned into a chatterbox again to explain.
"Very good, very good. This ancestral precept is very good. Love one person and be loyal to one person. This is the best respect for love." Xiao Ling'er praised without hesitation.
Then, thinking of their different status now, he asked again with some concern: "What if the ministers in the court force us to do so?"
Gu Yunting looked into Xiao Ling'er's eyes and answered seriously, "Ling'er, if the person sitting in that position can make Yuntian Kingdom stronger and allow the people to live and work in peace, then those ministers have no right to make irresponsible remarks.
If the country is not strong and the people are not rich, no matter how many concubines you marry or how many princes you have, the country will end up being destroyed.
Besides, my father took that position not for power, but for the Yuntian Kingdom and the people.
As a result, I have to be led around by them and forced to do things I don't like or want to do, so there's no point in sitting in this position."
Xiao Ling'er's heart trembled when she heard this. Yes, she was obsessed. Sitting in that position was not about giving birth to more princes and grandchildren, but about how to lead a country to become stronger.
In fact, the people generally don’t care about these things. Only some ministers who are not concerned about other people’s business care about these things.
Xiao Ling'er rolled her eyes a few times, and with some ill intentions, she leaned close to Gu Yunting's ear and made a suggestion:
"Gu Yunting, if there are any ministers who are too busy worrying about other people's business, find them something substantial to do..."
Xiao Ling'er said a lot of things, but found that Gu Yunting didn't react at all. She felt dissatisfied and turned around to find that Gu Yunting's face was already red.
Even his neck was pink. When Xiao Ling'er looked at him, he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at her.
Xiao Ling'er felt it was novel. This man was so pure and cute that she couldn't help but want to tease him. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
